Bad Play?

Played in the regular game Tuesday night. I have to say this was one of the quickest exits I have had from any tourney. I was out in about 10 hands. Here is the gist of it. There was a new guy at my table. I had never played with him. Out of the 10 hands I saw at the table he raised pre-flop on about 6 or 7 of them. I just knew he couldn't have a hand everytime.

So the 10th hand comes around. I am in decent position. I look down at an AcJc. I raise it about 4 times the BB. It gets around to the new guy in the BB. He raises me triple my bet. It gets back to me I think for a minute...he could have a variety of hands, and there really weren't too many hands that I would be a total dog to. I decided to push it all in and just try to take the pot right there. I push all in. The new guy says well if you got aces I guess I'm headed home early tonight. Right then I knew he had kings. Sure enough, he flips over KcKd. He is about 70% to win the hand. I whiff big time and I'm bounced from the tourney...1st one out!! Woohoo!!

I wasn't upset about it at all. He was raising too many hands pre-flop for me to give him any respect. I decided to test his hand. I figured there were only about 5 or 6 hands that I would be a huge underdog to. It just turned out I picked the wrong hand to test.

One of my good buddies took a pretty bad beat and was knocked out shortly after me. So we decided to play some heads up. We played best two out of three rounds. He took the first round, and I took the next two.
